Y Referring to the drawing in detail itwill It is thought that the construction, opera-V lbe seen that the letter A denotes the gunwale tion, utility and advantages of this inventionv Y r casting, the letter B denotes the stud casting, willnow be quite apparent to those skilled in and the letter C denotes" the bar lock or `this art without a more detailed description 1 1 casting.

Y thereof.` Referring to the drawing in' detail and rlhe present embodinient'of the invention first to the casting A it will bev seen that the has been disclosed in considerable detail same comprises an elongatedplate 5 adapted merely for the purposes of'exemplification 90 to rest on top of the -gunwale and to be fassince in actual practice it attains thelfeatures tened thereto by screws 6 passing through of advantage enumerated as desirable in the f openings 7 Vin the ends thereof. A pair of statement of the invention andthe above de- -transverse shoulders 8 are formed on interme# scription. Y diate portions of the plate 5 to rise therefrom It will be apparent that changes in the de- Sv in spaced parallelism and are formed on their tails of construction, and in the combination inner sides with opposed grooves 9. and arrangement of parts maybe resorted to Arms 10 depend from the inner side of the without departing from the spirit or scope plate and terminate in sleeves 11. Openings of the invention as hereinafter claimed or 12 are provided in the intermediate portions sacrificing any of its advantages. 100 l' Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. A device of the class described comprising a member adapted to be mounted on a gunWa-le and including a pair of portions having oppositely disposed grooves, a member hingedly mounted to the first mentioned memberV and having a stud adapted to be disposed between said grooved portion, and an oar lock sivivelly mounted on the stud and having projections receivable in the groove. 2. A Vdevice of the class described includ* ing, in combination, a casting including a plate having a pair of shoulders with opposed grooves and arms depending thererom..terminating in sleeves, an L-shaped member including. a relatively long leg and a relatively short leg, said relatively long leg terminating in sleeves to be 'registered betiveenthe first mentioned sleeve, a pin eX- tending through said sleeve, a stud perpendicular to the short leg, an o-ar lock sWivelly mounted on the stud and having oppositely disposed Wings receivable in the grooves.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
